School Days

School has started once again. A new influx of freshmen. A new set of experiences and expectations. In order to manage those wide eyed know it alls, Beloit has once again released their MindSet List. A list of 75 differences between the environment the freshmen grew up in and the environment where the teachers grew up.

Here are some fun ones:

1. The Soviet Union has never existed and therefore is about as scary as the student union.

6. There has always been only one Germany.

11. A coffee has always taken longer to make than a milkshake.

12. Smoking has never been permitted on U.S. airlines.

16. DNA fingerprinting has always been admissible evidence in court.

19. "Google" has always been a verb.

21. Milli Vanilli has never had anything to say.

33. They have no idea why we needed to ask "...can we all get along?"

73. They grew up with virtual pets to feed, water, and play games with, lest they die.
